Renée Fleming - Strauss - Epheu op.22 no.3 RARE LIVE (1999) Madchenblumen

Live New York 1999 Pianist unknown Strauss' exquisite early song Epheu (1888) given here in a live recital by Renée Fleming. Sadly Fleming never recorded the song in the studio, so we have to make do with live recordings. This was recorded in house, which is why the recorded sound is lumpy, but this ravishingly delicate, expressive, poignant performance (the best interpretatively of Fleming's that I could find) still has an enormous amount of beauty to offer those who can listen past the poor audio. Subtitles are available in English - switch them on above! Song texts: Aber Epheu nenn' ich jene Mädchen mit den sanften Worten, mit dem Haar, dem schlichten, hellen um den leis' gewölbten Brau'n, mit den braunen seelenvollen Rehenaugen, die in Tränen steh'n so oft, in ihren Tränen gerade sind unwiderstehlich; ohne Kraft und Selbstgefühl, schmucklos mit verborg'ner Blüte, doch mit unerschöpflich tiefer treuer inniger Empfindung können sie mit eigner Triebkraft nie sich heben aus den Wurzeln, sind geboren, sich zu ranken liebend um ein ander Leben: an der ersten Lieb'umrankung hängt ihr ganzes Lebensschicksal, denn sie zählen zu den seltnen Blumen, die nur einmal blühen. But ivy is what I call that maiden with soft words, with the simple, bright hair, gently waving brown about her, with brown, soulful doe's eyes, who so often stands in tears, in her tears simply irresistible; without strength and self-consciousness, unadorned with secret blossoms, yet with an inexhaustible, deep true inner sentience that under her own power she can never yank herself up by the roots; such are born to twine lovingly about another life: upon her first love she rests her entire life's fate, for she is counted among those rare flowers, those that only blossom once.
